460MCA

Connect Modbus TCP/IP Device to an ASCII System

Deliver Data from your Modbus TCP/IP Server Devices to an ASCII Based System or Controller

The 460MCA moves data between up to 32 Modbus TCP/IP Server devices and serial ASCII.
It’s a great tool to implement Modbus TCP/IP devices into your PC or embedded applications that support raw ASCII data.

Best of all is that the units are always in stock, come with a 5 year warranty and are made in the USA.

How Does the 460MCA Work?
Up to 125 Registers or 512 Coils can be mapped to and from your Modbus TCP/IP Server devices. The data segments can be converted to ASCII and concatenated into a string we deliver you your ASCII controller or logger. If you need to command the Modbus TCP/IP devices an incoming ASCII string can be parsed and each segment can be directed to user defined IO data location.

Need to scale your data or manipulate it with other math functions? The 460MCA allows you to add scaling to any data, apply simple math operations with ease.

Why use Real Time Automation as a Gateway Supplier?
The 460MCA provides an option to manage Modbus TCP/IP devices with an ASCII based controller. While there are certainly a number of other companies offering solutions like ours, there is no one who provides the level of support and service that you receive from RTA.

When you call, a live person answers the phone. When you talk with sales, you will get honest answers and recommendations even if that means recommending someone else’s solution. When you get support, it is from an engineer who had a hand in the product’s development, and that doesn’t require a ticket or 24 hour wait. We are unashamed of the fact that we are a smaller company because, that means, you mean more to us. Try the RTA difference today.

Testimonial

We provide different PLC platforms depending on customer requirements and I have found the 460MSA and 435NBX gateways from RTA to be user-friendly and have cut down our project configuration time considerably. The web interface saves time in not having to lug a laptop out to the field to make changes and the user manuals are straight forward and informative.
